<strong>Gas</strong> <strong>Permeation</strong> <strong>Properties</strong>. The permeability coefficients of the<br />
membranes of polymers 1 <strong>and</strong> 2a–f to various gases measured at 25 °C are listed in<br />
Table 4, <strong>and</strong> their plot versus kinetic diameter of gases is shown in Figure 4. The gas<br />
permeability of the silylated derivatives was higher than that of ethyl cellulose, <strong>and</strong><br />
